Altavia's Pearl Anniversary and Fun Fair

Greetings Caid! Please come join the Barony of Altavia as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary; Saturday, May 11th, 2013 at Veteran's Park in Sylmar! The day's festive activities will include a few "midway" style games, various contests, and, of course, tournaments to determine our next Armored, Rapier, Unarmored, Youth, and A&S champions!



Armored Combat, Rapier, and Unarmoured Tournaments

These Pearly tournaments will be double elimination -- but those fighters presenting an acceptable entry to our A&S competition will receive a `Pearl,' which will be redeemable for a bonus to their fighting for the day. Exact details forthcoming! 



Arts & Science Competition

This years Pearly A&S Champion will be determined by YOU, in a People's Choice contest. All types of Arts and/or Science entries are allowed (functional or not), and entries incorporating the event theme of "Pearl" are highly encouraged. Documentation is not required, but always welcome. Entries must be turned in by 2pm; judging will end and entries must be picked up right before closing court.

Details

~~ To earn a `Pearl' For your fighting "bonus:" Fighters will be required to make an "artistic" presentation to our A&S staff. Armor entries are welcome but must be considered `artistic' – for example: not just "I made these elbow cops" but "I tooled and painted these leather elbows." Additionally, this presentation can be (but is not required to be) entered into our A&S competition if so desired. NOTE – the entry must be left in the A&S pavilion for the day, so it cannot be something you need to fight.
